DEF CON 19 Getaway Contest - THE WINNERS!

EFF would like to thank the contest entrants and the numerous team supporters for making our second annual DEF CON Getaway Contest a success! Together, we've surpassed last year's competition with a participant total of $7,542.04 for online rights defense — great work! This year, the battle for supremacy continued to the very end. Without further ado, here are this year's top contest fundraisers:

Specially designed for DEF CON by Joe Alterio of the very creative charity, Robots & Monsters, this year's shirt plays with the plain text truth that encryption saves lives.
